R. W. DE LANCEY POT TYPE BURNER Filed Oct. 16, 1942 INVENTOR RALPH W DELANCE Y ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 9, '1945 OFFICE ro'r TYPE BURNER Ralph W. De Lancey, Meriden, Conn., assignor to The Miller Company, Meriden, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Application October 10, 1942, SerialNo. 461,509

4 Claims.

The present invention relates to pot type burners, and is more particularly directed toward a form of pot type burner suitable for mounting in the side wall of a furnace or the like, and wherein the flame discharges horizontally from the burner into the combustionspace of the furnace.

According to the present invention the oil fuel flows into ,a horizontal trough or vaporizer and this trough is mounted in ahorizontal, generally annular body forming a combustion chamber for the burner. Air is blown into the body so as to cause it to whirl or spin about a generally horizontal axis and about the vaporizer.

The accompanying drawing shows, for purposes ofillustrating the present invention, one of the many embodiments in which the invention may take form, it being understood that the drawing is illustrative of the invention rather than limiting the same.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the burner with parts broken away; and n Figure 2 is a verticalsectional view.

In-the form of construction illustrated in the drawing the body ll! of the burner may be generally annular and is adapted to be inserted through the wall of the furnace so that the inner end at the left of the drawing is in the com bustion chamber of the furnace and the righthand end, as illustrated in the drawing, is outside the furnace.

The inner end of the body is reduced in any convenient manner so as to provide an opening 12 for the escape of flame and products of combustion. The outerend of the body is here shown as having a flange l3 to which is secured by suitable bolts M a ring l5, this ring being of angular cross section. A casting I B is secured in position to close the opening in the ring [5, and this casting l6, as here shown, is provided with an inwardly extending trough I! having an upwardly extending end wall l8 so that a pool of liquid fuel may be retained in the trough H. The liquid is delivered in any convenient manner from the usual metering valve through a pipe indicated at IS. "The trough I1 is adapted to form a vaporizer in the combustion chamber of the burner. i

A suitable blower is diagrammatically illustrated at 20, conduit at 2|; and an opening in the body It is shown at 22. The blower is adapted zontal generally cylindrical oil retaining andvaan annular combustion chamber, means for clos} to blow a blast of air into the bottom of the combustion chamber in a generally tangential direction, and this air will whirl or spin about a generally horizontal axis, whereby the fuel in the vaporizer is consumed and the vaporizer kept hot to facilitate vaporizing the fuel. d It is obvious that the invention maybe embodied in many forms and constructions within the scope of the claims and I wish it to be understood that the particular form shown is but one of the many forms. changes being possible, I do not otherwise limit myself in any way with respect thereto.

What is claimed is:

1. A horizontal pot type oil burner having a bustion chamber and disposed within said chamber, means to supply and to maintain a pool of oil in the trough, and meansforclosing off the end of the body opposite the said flame opening.

2. A burner such as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closing means supports the vaporizer.

3. A burner such as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closure means includes a ring, and a removable plate closing the hole in the ring and supporting the vaporizer, the vaporizer being removable through the hole in the ring. 4. A horizontal pot type burner having a horiporizing pot open upwardly, and closed at the ends, an annular housing about the pot to form ing the end of the housing adjacent one end of the pot and supporting the corresponding end of l the pot, the other end being free, the other end of the housing extending beyond the free endof the pot and having an opening for the products of combustiomand a blower for blowing air into the housing in a generally tangential direction to whirlaboutthe pot,
